Get a US Fax Number That Works From Anywhere

You Don't Have to Be in the US

FaxTerra runs entirely online, so where you physically are never matters. We route and deliver your fax for you — the only thing that decides whether it goes through is the recipient's country, never yours. You can sit in Manila, Lagos, or Berlin and fax a US government office exactly as if you were in New York. There is no geographic restriction on sending, receiving, or signing in.

Why International Filers Use a US Fax Number

Reaching US institutions from overseas is the most common reason people abroad use FaxTerra:

• Foreign-owned US entities filing Form 5472 under IRS penalty rules
• Founders applying for an EIN with Form SS-4 — see the EIN for non-US residents guide
• Immigrants and families responding to a USCIS Request for Evidence
• Anyone who needs a US line to receive a reply from a US agency, bank, or insurer

The IRS online EIN tool and many e-file systems will not work without a US SSN or address. Fax is the reliable path — and it works from anywhere.

Get the Reply, Not Just the Send

Sending is only half the job — US agencies often fax you back. A dedicated FaxTerra number (US or Canadian) is a real fax line that receives those replies straight to your FaxTerra inbox, with an email notification the moment one lands (see fax to email), wherever you live. You choose the number and area code yourself, and it stays reachable around the clock. If you already hold a US or Canadian fax number, you can port that number over instead of taking a new one.

How to Start From Abroad

Getting going takes a couple of minutes:

• Create a free account: email sign-up works without a US phone number or Google account.
• Upload your document (PDF, image, or a photo from your phone) and enter the destination fax number.
• Send for free within your monthly free pages, and track delivery in real time.
• To receive replies, add a subscription and pick your own US or Canadian number. See how receiving works to get your own number so replies reach you.

Which Countries Can I Fax?

You can send to 27 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India. Dedicated receiving numbers are US or Canadian. If a destination is not in a supported country, the fax will not go through — but for reaching US institutions from abroad, you are fully covered.
